Public voices support for eminent domain case against Mountain Water
“The city of Missoula should continue its fight to own Mountain Water Company despite the difficulties along the way, according to a vast majority of citizens who gave public comment Monday.
Said Patricia Hogan: “I think this is a great fight, and I’m glad you have the stomach for it.”
Said John Pilsworth, who is looking out for his grandchildren and great grandchildren: “Water is a necessity. It’s a source of life. And it’s being privatized, and wealth is made off of this. Basically what I’d like to see is the city control their own water system.”
Said Anne Little, who uses a lot of water as a small business owner: “I want you to do what needs to be done to get our water.””
